Ms. Virginia Ruth Roberts, 97, of Lusby died in Lexington Park on July 20, 2014. She was born on December 9, 1916 in North Carolina to the late Hardic and Zettie Townsend Clark. She had worked in hospitals as an LPN and had lived in Calvert County since 2008. Virginia’s hobbies included travel, camping and boating. She loved visiting a local bar in Solomon’s Island so much that she was dubbed “The Tiki Bar Queen.” She was very active and said it was her intention ‘to outrun death.”
